You got to be kidding me. What a stupid answer. Just proves how dumb our government is.

[micaiahm]

I’m sick of answers from politicians being optional.
We taxpayers are your bosses.

[JamesLeggett-ok]

The more I see this man the more he remind me of a puppet

[legaleeblonde]

You lost him after the first 10 words. 😂😂

[charlenemocksing]

I wouldn’t listen to this Dem’s opinion even if I had to rely on it. Truth is very seldom said nowadays.

[tcmurray]

Can't take Dem politicians seriously anymore. It's 2024 not 1900's.

[HollyKelley-en]

Putin Has every right to protect his country !!!!

[putinscat]

This is nonsense.. We have no idea what question he was really asked.

[colleensmith]

Where is HR2 is still on Schumer desk its not Republicans holding up progress it's actually Democrats you set on this for 8 months.

[bluetextbooks]

Don't say a word to that reporter. 😊

[lwzfog]

couldn’t even make a convincing ‘no’ face to accompany the lie 😂

[UPyours-qh]

I am just amazed that Hakeem Jeffries come to an answer that just consisted of two letters NO because quite frankly I was a little concerned that he couldn't push the CIA intelligence agency upon the Republican party as a conspiracy theory and that's the fastest answer any reporter has ever got out of Jeffries after asking the question NO you won't see that too often coming from a damn Democrat I guarantee you that much

[dianasims]

Why does anyone care what this liar has to say? He can't even figure out how to open the door. At least that's what he claims. I don't trust the word that comes out of his mouth

[colleensmith]

Tell Mr. Jeffries America First not for America and Americans it shouldn't happen!

[zinger]

Is Hack eem lying he don't look comfortable there?

[victorrichardson]

Please, stop “asked point blank“ and just give enough info to justify watching the video.

[fm_]

All along Russia was right.
Keep poking the bear and try to spook it as well, we will all doomed together for the actions of the 3vil in the fat house!

[DanielNistrean]

Unless you are absolutely incompetent in Russia related politics Putin said since 2001, that he doesn't see Ukraine as a different nation. In 2014 it became clear what that meant.

[LIV-FREE-VET]

where is the answer? looks like it got cut off

[mikusoxlongius]

Too bad there wasn't a "door release" for him to pull and escape.
The big red one that said "F*re Al*rm"...
